Semi ranger related. Mostly well known info but A neat context nonetheless.

Oh that is cool!

2002 - what neat age to live in that it's still mostly-current and easily accessible!
I have a vague memory I might have actually read that back in the day. OMG TIME. :)

Cool beans! Thanks for sharing this.
Would anyone here like to do a little campout in Sherwood forest? Show of hands?
I agree, basic stuff, but fun to see it shared in this way.

Finally got around to reading that article! Good stuff, overall! I've seen the author around the web quite a bit over the years - really top-notch reenactor, and pretty incredible with a bow!

The article makes brief mention of firemaking by friction, but I've yet to see clear evidence of this ever happening in Europe.
Got any clues?
